I was really puzzled and a bit annoyed at the sharing of misinformation here and nearly closed it twice, but scrolled to the end and then scrolled back up to appreciate it. I'll give it a B+ 😆

This wave of recalls is disturbing on its own, but what I’m really struggling with is that it all seems to be happening by design. According to RFK Jr.’s eugenicist delusions, no regulation means survival of the fittest. If E. coli fells you, then you weren’t meant to live. It’s so grim, so evil.

Personally, my favorite part of Grand Theft Auto has always been that one radio station that plays the Federal Reserve meetings and updates the interest rates.

there is no such thing as "age verification." All "age verification" is actually "identity verification." You can coat it in glitter and "privacy-preserving" wrapping paper. But in the end, mandating age verification means mandating surveillance be built into software and hardware. Period.
AI-generated text poisoning training data is a huge problem. Without a renewable corpus of fresh human-authored work to draw from, future models may be unable to improve beyond the tipping point. That’s why the frontier labs should invest trillions of dollars in funding art from independent artists,
I think gambling should be sorta legal but I also think everyone should have to drive at least an hour to do it.
Danny Cherry Jr (twitter/Insta/tiktok: @Deecherrywriter)@deecherrywriter.bsky.social · 4d agoOnce upon a time I was apathetic to gambling but the rise of online sports betting & prediction markets have changed that. These companies have analytics that show them who is an addict, and they target them with deals. Over 80% of these companies’ revenue comes from 3-5% of gamblers.
I'm not sure I have ever chronicled anything. I've diaried. I've journaled. I've blogged. I've essayed. Chronicling has eluded me.
This may surprise people but the folks at the Department Of Controlling What I Say And Do always get back to my emails quickly.
six feet would be a terrible length of actual rope though. basically useless.
I always knew Threads would win. It sucks to use and only exists to protect a monopoly. In America, that's a winning ticket every time.
There have been a lot of shocks on the road to dystopia, but "the Lakers are evil now" wasn't one of them.
So if I want to yell the worst political opinions of 30 years ago, I'm supposed to learn to draw Charlie Brown myself???
I am definitely more stupid and insane than I was a decade ago but the curve I have to grade this against is fucking bonkera.
historically America would try to keep the Secretary of State alive also but this is a time of innovation
Sure, a catering cart doesn't sound that safe either, but keep in mind that he was accompanied by 42 highly trained clowns.
I used to think it was unrealistic when Looney Tunes showed doofuses hitting themselves in the head repeatedly with large mallets. Then I discovered Opinion Columnists.
The name's Will Gluck 'n I'm afraid of fuckin'
DiscussingFilm@discussingfilm.net · 2w ago‘ONE NIGHT ONLY’ director Will Gluck says they cut out “so much nudity” from the film because he thinks audiences dislike sex on screen. “Whenever people now see nudity or very adult situations in a big theater, they get uncomfortable.” (Source: variety.com/2026/film/fe...)
One night a year. That's it. The rest of the year is day. Then: one night. Some people go out. But most people? Most people go to bed.
NEW: Everyone's talking about Douche Puck, the puck that tells you you're in the home of a douche!
Mark Gurman@markgurman.bsky.social · 2w agoNEW: OpenAI’s device - a human-like smart speaker - will look like a doughnut and be the size of a hockey puck. It meant to be held. It has a camera, speakers, microphones, lights and, most notably, moving parts to show interactivity. It’ll be $300-400. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

New chart just came out. Good is way down. Bad? Unfortunately, it's up. Is this trend new? No. Does it date all the back to pretty much exactly 1980? Wow great guess.
My brother Kevin is making his Edinburgh Fridge debut with his very funny show about our dad dying. If you've ever wanted to see a show about my dad dying, I recommend this one. www.edfringe.com/tickets/what...
Armed with absurd charts, childhood photos and real funeral footage, Kevin sets out to prove – objectively – which tragedy in his life is the funniest and therefore most worth building a one-person show around.

Off to Edinburgh for the first time in my life to perform over a dozen video game shows for good, smart, attractive festival goers. God help us all.
